ABSTRACT:
A warhead with a disintegrating jacket to house several projectiles, in picular splinter projectiles. The projectiles are each equipped with an ignition and backfiring system and fall to earth individually after disintegration of the warhead jacket. They are then fired upwards by means of the backfiring charge ignited by the ignition system, the charge explosive then being detonated. The ignition system of each projectile consists of a time-delay fuze and an impact fuze. The time-delay fuze is initiated when the projectile impacts with relatively soft ground and ignites the backfiring charge after adjusted times differing at least partly for the individual projectiles. The impact fuze, however, effects an immediate ignition of the backfiring charge when the projectile strikes relatively hard ground.
